or why it is not a good idea to use your birthday as your pin
My pin is 4580 so I am good!
Hold up, mine too! I wonder if there’s a connection with the card number and expiration date. Here’a mine, enter yours so we can all compare:
- 5894325796533678
- 11/25
6969 looks like a popular choice. Nice.
So the black pixels are pins that nobody uses? 🤔
It bothers me that if the pin resembles a date, even if it is not the reason for it, it is less secure. Life is not fair, lol.
Can someone create a list of the most secure 4-digit PINs?
It’s hard to look at but any of the ones that are black squares in the picture would be the least used ones. It looks like that’s most any that starts in the 7000+ range.
Edit: 6806 for example.
4 digit pins are not secure. As long as you avoid all the light colored dots on the chart, that’s the most secure you can make it.
If a system allows brute forcing without a pause, delay, cool down, or lockout, and a 4 digit pin is the only thing preventing access, they will get in.
